A day after the International Cricket Council (ICC) directed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to cancel its Champions Trophy tour in the Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK), the world cricket body officially announced the global trophy tour on Saturday. On Friday, the PCB announced the Champions Trophy will travel to the cities of Skardu, Hunza, and Muzaffarabad which fall under the PoK.
ICC’s itinerary doesn’t include any of the the PoK cities. Instead the Champions Trophy tour will start on November 16 in Islamabad where the silverware will be displayed at Daman-e-Koh, Faisal Mosque, and the Pakistan Monument, accompanied by former pacer Shoaib Akhtar.
